Back to the Basics — But This Time, I’m Building for Real

Hey WA fam 👋

It’s been a while — some of you might know me, others probably don’t. So here’s the short story:

I’m Jared Talbot. I joined WA in April 2020, right in the middle of COVID, hoping to carve out a freedom-based income stream while working a full-time job.

I learned the basics of WordPress, poured my late nights into building www.growmybitcoin.co.za and created a few other sites along the way. But if I’m honest… I never finished the training. Life got busy. I got distracted. And eventually, things just kind of… paused.

But here’s the thing:
That dream never went away.
If anything, it’s stronger than ever.


🔄 So What’s Happening Now?

I’m back — and this time with a plan, clarity, and purpose.

✅ I’m completing all the WA modules
✅ I’m getting active in the community again
✅ I’m rebuilding my brand from scratch
✅ And I’m combining my skills in crypto, AI, and tech support into something practical

But more than that — I’m here to tell you something real:

The website I built on WA and the skills I learned here literally carried my family through riots, job uncertainty, and relocation... all the way from South Africa to Ireland.
This platform worked — even when I wasn’t perfect with it.


🧰 My New Direction

Here’s what I’m working on now:

👉 New websites that help people understand and safely use crypto, tech, and AI
👉 A second site, Ascend Personal Growth, focused on health, mindset, and personal transformation
👉 Local tech support services — data recovery, laptop setup, virus protection, and basic IT rescue
👉 Helping small Irish businesses like plumbers and mechanics build better websites and attract more clients
👉 Teaching people how to use AI tools, build websites, and own their online space
👉 Offering real value — tutorials, setup services, and eventually digital products and courses

Whether someone wants to:

  • Learn how to offramp crypto
  • Keep their family laptop safe
  • Build a proper online presence for their local trade
  • Or finally understand how to back up their data...

I'm going to help them — and maybe help them discover something bigger along the way.


💬 Why I’m Posting This

Because I want to connect again.

I’m starting fresh — but I’m not starting from zero.

If you’re building your first site, feeling stuck, or wondering whether it’s worth it... keep going.

The training here is solid.
The people here are solid.
And honestly — the time will pass anyway.
Might as well build something real.


Let’s grow.

Hello Jared, no I don't know you and you don't know me, welcome back, I been all about Ozzy Osbourne since he did his last show, there is a true story behind one of his songs which is one of my favorites, Mr Crowley, < my best buddy and his dad shot and his dads life got taken that night, I was there to because I was living with the family, so I am part of the family cause of that, they treated me like I was family, the name of that song is there family name and they played it at the funeral 1986, this changed our life's, it was planned by their next-door neighbours, so just spending time with Ozzy got me in the mindset off what's going wrong with my business and how to fix it and how to go forward and then I come across your post and I had to read and said wow good stuff this has given me some motivation for the day, yeah I made plenty of mistake but I learn from them and last night I had to update my website but I failed, so I have to fix it up. so now I am just going to hire someone to sort it out for me so I can get on with it, more training and learning, but I just want to make sure that what I am selling is going to solve solutions and value for their money, this is all new to me I know nothing about the computer or marketing, yes I have be taken for a ride by a few marketer, I research any products that I buy, so thanks for your great post, it was detailed very well and it made sense. that's all for today, I wasn't supposed to do it this big, I call it training for me, ha-ha have a great day Jon🤪🔥🧨🏁

Welcome back Jared! Sometimes it is good to put on pause mode our dreams to test if they are really important for us! This will give you a new strenght to re-start in a more focused way!

Definitely, that's such good advice... actually looking back. Wow. Things have changed and I'm way closer now than I was 5 years ago.
